Getting Smaller
GoPro reveals new Hero4 Session mini action cam - BBC News
Unless you are doing some undercover work, tiny cameras are really not that enticing.
The camera I have now is already a bit cumbersome. I have to push the memory card in with my fingernails, and frequently miss.
Then there is the GoPro price $363 (£233) (฿11,616).
There are other brand names with similar quality and features costing ฿1,550 to ฿3,500
The camera has great resolution. The average user will find the camera handy as a dashboard camera while driving. In some sports it comes in handy as a helmet cam.
Forget mounting the camera on an airborne device, that's been outlawed in Thailand.
For the average user, the smartphone is just as good, with additional features these tiny cameras don't have.

At my house rains have mostly been light with heavier rains moving mostly south of the city. วันนี้ที่ สกลนคร ฝนตกหลายพื้นที่ Meanwhile: North of Bangkok a number of roads have collapsed, supposedly due to the drought |

Tourism as seen through rose colored glasses
Thailand welcomes 15 millionth arrival
Travel Daily Asia
At that rate Thailand may well reach new heights in tourism.
Chinese tourists boost Thai economy but stir outrage
This article has been reprinted by multiple media outlets, which makes me believe it is a press release
Can't swallow articles which state Chinese are spending an average of 5,500 per day, a lot more than European tourist spend.
